On April 24, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of the Great Plates Delivered program, a meal delivery service for California's older adults. The Great Plates Delivered program serves two purposes: 1) Help seniors and other adults at high risk from COVID-19 to stay home and stay healthy by delivering three nutritious meals each day to these adults, and 2) Provide essential economic stimulus to local businesses struggling to stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis. The Great Plates Delivered program is authorized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") in 30-day increments and is currently approved to run through April 7, 2021.
The amended contract values are based on the current number of meal recipients from each restaurant participating in the program (a total 3,200 recipients) and projected cost of the program through June 30, 2021.
